Hi , if it's just the HVAC fan cutting out , then it's probably the resistor pack for the fan , which a few forum members have had problems with , this is normally a quick dealer fix under warranty by replacing the resistor pack. 👍 The resistor pack is bypassed at full fan speed so you can try...

Hi , I think you do seem to have a problem , weather should have little affect on the mileage reading at 100% charge with the accumulated trip reset and everything turned off HVAC etc . I have always got around the advertised milage range no matter what the outside temp is , my ZS is down to...

Hi , sorry for delay bought it a while ago Vgate iCar Pro BLE 4.0 OBD2 Diagnostic Tool Fault Code Reader OBDII Compatible Car Adapter Check Engine Light for iOS, Android and Windows : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive not the cheapest but not had any problems using it 🙂

My ZS EV was the same yesterday 2.8 very wet , flooded roads , head wind . I also kept to 55/60 mph , heater on the lowest with air con to keep windows clear , I think 2.8 is actually not that bad as the conditions were very poor 🙂

I agree with you 👍 the grill fitted to the Gen 1 ZS EV is just a modified ICE ZS , on the right hand side Of the grill at the back you can see the air intake for the ICE , it looks like the Gen 2 ZS EV mainly uses the lower air intake for cooling which the Gen 1 also has , as my Gen 1 gets older...

That was my disappointment the maximum charging speed , I have seen two articles that have stated a maximum charging speed of 76 kw which to my mind makes me think it's not going to charge any faster than the 1st generation ZS EV and if that is the case I know Bjorn Nyland will do his classic...

My car is 26 months old 14500 miles showing 97.5% SOH so I am happy with that , I still intend to keep it for a few more year yet so will be interesting to see how much further it drops over that period of time 🙂.The new ZS EV looks ok and obviously the extra milage is good to have but I think...

I just wanted to add that I changed my 3 pin plug on the granny charger because it was a lot hotter after 18 months of use than when I first bought the car and at the moment it is my main source for charging the car , please only change the plug if you feel yours has similar problems and also...

Hi , not that I found I would imagine that if there is any type of thermal sensor it would be in the main body of the charger it's self.

I have always mainly used my supplied granny charger , because at work I can plug it in a couple of times a week for the whole day for free , but I have noticed recently that the 3 pin plug after a day's charge has been getting hotter than before to the point that the metal pins are too hot to...

I like using the EV watchdog app (thanks to the developer of that app 👍) with the OBD port Bluetooth adapter , it gives you a lot of information regarding how much energy has used for any journey and how much has been put back in to the battery with regen and lots of other useful info as well 🙂...

This is why I hope the opening of the tesla super charger network goes well with the Netherlands trial , as tesla super and destination chargers seem to be very reliable and the ability to see if there are chargers available out of multiple units before you arrive on site would be great . I know...

Hi , from Amazon it was £12.99 for two rolls 300x30 cm so plenty to practice with a BangShou product , they do call it a clear Vinyl wrap but does the same as ppf 👍

Just a quick update , I put the ppf on one of my door mirror's as the excite mirror's are not heated , have been waiting for a day when when the windows and mirror's have misted up which was this week but unfortunately there was no difference between the two mirror's 🙁 I must admit the only...

My first answer would be that it won't stop mirrors from misting up , but I have some left so I might try it on a mirror and see if there is a difference , I will get back to you. 👍
